University of Wisconsin-Parkside’s Jessica Monson is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Indoor Track Athlete of the Week.

Monson, a senior for the Rangers, won both of her events at the Wisconsin Elite Meet. Her first win came in the mile run with a time of 4:52.60 and then she returned back to the track 60 minutes later to win the 800-meter run in a blazing time of 2:15.42. The meet consisted of Division I competition that included Wisconsin, Marquette, UW-Milwaukee, and Illinois State.

 

Monson has already punched her ticket for the Division II Nationals with her automatic qualifying time of 4:52.02 in the mile . She is first in the conference in both the mile and the half mile.

Other top performers in the GLVC last week included Southern Indiana’s Mary Ballinger, Missouri S&T’s Aubrey Moore, and Lewis’ Ashley Butler.
